2018 Convention Passes Have Started to Ship

Albert Almora, Jr. is so excited for the 2018 Cubs Convention
Check your mailboxes - Cubs Convention weekend passes have started to ship! 

Hopefully you were one of the lucky ones who was able to secure passes and/or a hotel room package for the event.  If not, you're just like me!  I was shutout for the first time since I started attending in 1995.  So I may or may not see you there...

  1. I got my passes today! (first time ever!) Is that all you need to get into the convention or do they give you tickets as well?

  2. That is all you need to get in but there will be a registration area where you will get a goody bag that usually includes a program with all of the schedules, a calendar, a pull tab for a chance to win an autograph and probably a bunch of coupons. Make sure to register!

    1. Meet greet prices depends on what player you want. But if you want BryAnt And Rizzo they camp out all night to register first.

      Delete
    2. Do you know how many meet and greets they offer per player typically? Do you have to line up Thursday night to even have a chance at those autographs for Bryant/Rizzo?
